Delayed or misdiagnoses are missed chances to save lives.
Dr. Raymond Tarr has spent the past 25 years building, scaling, and shaping diagnostic solutions across the globe. As founder and CEO of Sagacity Diagnostics, his mission is to transform the way healthcare diagnoses, identifies, and ultimately cares for patients.
“Diagnosis is the compass of modern medicine,” says Dr. Tarr. “But what if the compass is broken or worse, pointing in the wrong direction?”
Eliminating Friction From Lab to Bedside
In healthcare, time isn’t just money. It’s outcomes. Yet millions of patients face unnecessary delays getting answers.
“At Sagacity Diagnostics, we believe innovation isn’t about adding more tools,” Dr. Tarr explains. “It’s about building smarter, faster pathways to diagnosis. That means leveraging data, aligning stakeholders, and eliminating friction from lab to bedside.”
Most diagnostic delays stem from systemic friction rather than a lack of technology. Test orders get lost in communication handoffs. Results sit in queues waiting for review. Clinicians lack context connecting test findings to patient history. Each friction point adds hours or days before patients get answers.
Building smarter, faster pathways eliminates this friction. Leveraging data means integrating test results with clinical context so findings trigger appropriate actions automatically. Aligning stakeholders ensures labs, clinicians, and care coordinators work from a shared understanding of urgency. Eliminating friction from the lab to the bedside means removing handoffs, queues, and communication gaps that delay answers.
Matching the Right Patients to the Right Treatments Earlier
The future of clinical development relies on finding the right patients faster.
“We’ve developed platforms that work within EHRs, not against them, to flag suspect patients and accelerate access to trials and life-changing therapies,” Dr. Tarr explains. “When you can match the right patient to the right treatment early, outcomes shift dramatically.”
Most clinical trials struggle to enroll eligible patients. Researchers know the target criteria but can’t efficiently identify which patients in large health systems meet them. Clinicians treating eligible patients don’t know which trials exist. Patients who could benefit from experimental therapies never learn about opportunities.
Platforms working within EHRs change this. Instead of requiring clinicians to manually search for trials or researchers to manually screen records, intelligent systems flag suspect patients automatically. When EHR data shows a patient meeting trial criteria, the system alerts both the clinician and the research coordinator. This accelerates access by connecting eligible patients to appropriate trials weeks or months earlier.
Building Ecosystems Through Collaboration
No single company can fix diagnostics alone.
“At Sagacity, we’re building ecosystems,” Dr. Tarr explains, “Partnering with providers, payers, pharma, and digital health innovators to drive adoption of advanced testing and scale meaningful solutions. It’s not about disruption. It’s about connection, alignment, and purpose.”
Most healthcare innovation operates through competitive advantage. Companies develop proprietary solutions, protect intellectual property, and compete for market share. Building ecosystems works differently. Partnering with providers ensures solutions integrate into clinical workflows rather than adding burden. Collaborating with payers aligns reimbursement with value created. Working with pharma connects diagnostic insights to treatment development. Engaging digital health innovators accelerates the adoption of advanced testing.
Connection, alignment, and purpose create conditions where innovations scale. When providers, payers, pharma, and innovators work toward shared goals, meaningful solutions reach patients rather than remaining isolated breakthroughs.
Doing What’s Needed, Not Just What’s Been Done
“We’re not here to do what’s been done,” Dr. Tarr concludes. “We’re here to do what’s needed. At Sagacity Diagnostics, the impossible is just our starting point.”
When diagnostics transform from a broken compass to a reliable guide, outcomes shift. Lives saved. Care improves.
